My grandpa used to say, "Everything you learn costs you money." Boy, was he right. I lost £100 on a commission this past week😭

I’m a new subscriber, and I love this post and can’t wait to make my lists! Thanks!

I sell mostly my digital work, but the photography portion got me thinking of how I can incorporate my traditional work as well. My partner has been considering buying a new camera, so I might have some additional asks for that!

So fun!!! ❤ I'd just made myself three lists a few days ago with the same idea, but mine was more to use up my vast array of supplies and to as prompts (I am more of an upcycler!) My lists are printed, cut into strips and put into 3 baskets. Colours, items and tools. I've done a fourth list called concept too, but narrowing down with 4 categories is a bit toooo specific 😂 So so much fun...and like you said, no blocks, just creativity!!!

My pricing exists somewhere between the gut reaction and the material based pricing. When I first started selling in college it was all gut reaction. Over the past 10 years I've slowly bumped those prices up to include time spent, materials, size, and complexity of the design. Every couple of years I bought my prices up 25 or $50 to adjust for both inflation and my better skill level

Wow! What a great video to bring back the confidence in times when you feel blocked. Excellent video, very educational filled with lots of inspiration. I just found your channel and I’m a new subscriber! This is very helpful since I recently purchased new mediums and materials. I usually paint with oils but the list is definitely a great tool. I wish you all the best and more! Blessings and take care, be safe. ❤❤❤

Hello😊

Thank you very much, needed this!

I wish printful allowed a digital signature to added to artwork.

Hi Stephanie 👋 I've literally just discovered your channel through this video, and I've gotta say I really like your energy! This was fun to watch 😁 and thanks for the advice!

Stephanie, I love your enthusiasm and you’re a genius! And what a great idea this is! I could be your grandpa who shares the same love for art making! I have been in the art making business for over 30 yrs. And I’m always seeking for new ideas to keep my mind fresh, free and the enthusiasm alive! I’m subscribing to your channel because it’s good for an old guy like me to see happy and youthful spirit!…never stop smiling at Life!

Sheer brilliance! Thank you 😎👍🏻

Such an obvious approach, but hidden in plain sight! That’s brilliant 🔥 I love it because I tend to get bored when I need to work in one medium only, I need to switch it up every once in a while. But such a list gives some structure, which I also need. It’s a perfect balance for me ❤

Just found your channel! Great advice and concept. I’ll definitely try the Art Improvement list. Enjoyed how upbeat you are! Thanks for a great video.

What an incredible idea! For me it's the time between paintings, when I need to "rinse" my brain of the previous work and get into the next idea that I do my experimentation. I don't know how you feel, but when I finish a large work I feel elation at first and then I slip down into a funk for a few days. This is the danger time when I can slip into all the self doubt and feelings of futility. I don't wallow in it for long, but having a strategy like this will really help to motivate me to move on. One thing I always try to do is to have an idea for the next work before I finish what I'm working on currently.

Fabulous idea!! My first prompt is animal drawing in water soluble graphite 😅

first time viewer...and first time question asker already ...but first of all, I'm glad the algorithm got me to your videos and I'm excited to see what you post, the art you create, to learn and to be inspired. .....do I ask my question here for you? you mentioned curiosity about other people's schedules and I may have some problems there

Thank you!

Oh, WOW! I'm doing this NOW!!! BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for endless inspiration! 🎉😊

I love this idea. Figuring out what to do is half the struggle. It will also allow a balance between pure training and “making art”.

Love this!❤

What app is being used as the random number generator?

This is a great idea!!

💯

Agreed 🙌🏻

Thank you Stephanie, great technique for a hurried world. I am Grateful 👏💜

I love this, don't let your studio turn into a landfill. My new motto for my home and art studio.

So much great info, clearly explained and appreciate the thorough demo on Printful + Squarespace. ✨

I have just found you on UA-cam and was fascinated by this talk about Instagram. I have tried to use the site but without much happening and gave up really quickly. Can you please advise, does one need a professional account on Instagram to show such works? Love your work. Regards Mike

These are amazing ideas. I loved them all and I was looking for one that I had resistance to, probably movie marathon. I'm not a huge movie watcher or tv for that matter, I prefer reading and music. So this tells me to pick some interesting movies and try it.

"Chuck Amuck" by Chuck Jones is my absolute favorite. Part autobiography, part history, always entertaining. I did read "The Art Thief". Interesting story, but I felt it could have been written better.

I have made a habit of testing materials on the first page. Testing the material, testing show through, test how many layers the paper can take, etc. Can even test other / future sketchbooks so that the first page anxiety is already passed.

Some of these books may be available on the internet archive in a pinch

Thank you lovely ladies for all the resources you have shared

What's your favorite art book?

I use up all my fancy art materials now even just for studies because 1) they go much further than you realise, one painting isn't going to finish all the paint and 2) I fell into the trap of not using them and had a whole collection go bad and I ended up throwing a lot away 😭

Thank you for this! As someone who MAKES and sells fancy art supplies (hand-dyed thread for lace-making), I end up a bit sad when I hear that people have bought my threads, but not used them. I love seeing what people have created with them. Save them for the "right" project, sure, but I would hope that my threads would inspire you to start that "right" project. I want to know that people are getting value for what I have created and are enjoying the materials enough to actually use them. I spent many many years saving my nice supplies, but now days I am a lot more excited to bring out the better quality stuff and use them, partially as a way to thank the people who made them. Additionally, as I was starting out in lacemaking, I was given a lot of high-quality thread from older lace-makers who were no longer able to work with the very small thread or the darker colors because it was too hard to see them. While I appreciated receiving these supplies, it also inspired me to try to use the more. Now, I'm over 40 and finding myself needing stronger and stronger glasses and I am inspired to use more of that small thread before it will be too late for me and I no longer get the joy from working with the small thread.

you are so true. and I will add something else...many times, if you store the painting, you can touch it up in the future 😊

Love 💜 love 💜 love 💜 this approach 🥰🙏🏻 thank you

If you want to experiment with another brand I can highly recommend the Holbein primary colors set

The mixing in the tub is a really smart idea!

I love layering colored pencil over gouache!

So i ve been experimenting with dried gouache If the paint is very crumbly add a little honey or glycerine The trick with using them is watercontrol Which is similar to watercolour Which just takes time But its so much more convient and less messy and you save paint

Something i like doing is studing paintings that i like a aspect of I really like the colours of impressionists so i try to work it out

Thank you for this information! I was wondering if you have a link to the discord group?

This talk is Revolutionary 😲 mindblowing 😌thankyou

A tip i ve recently discovered is paint the way you want like for example with gouache you can paint teaditional with freshly squeezed out paint or let it dry on the palette Like watercolour can be presice and controlled or wild and free

I think for me a big reason why i havut brought high end oil paint like micheal hardings Some colours are like £40 which is insane But i have high end watercolours and gouache

Now im thinking about it and seeing these comments people only use gouache in one way very thick But gouache can be used in so many ways Like i ve been experimenting with watercolours using opaque and transparent colours Making full use of the medium Not heing boxed in by what you should do

I mostly do watercolours but there was some comnents here about the correct way to paint You hear this alot in the art communtity Art should be free But people try to inforce their way Paint the way you want
